Lonely Planet review

There’s no way you can miss this big flashpackers on the highway. Inside it’s smart and comfortable, with a garden courtyard surrounded by 200 beds’ worth of dorms, doubles and self-contained micro-apartments, as well as an inhouse cafe and a railway-inspired bar. Bikes are available for hire (per hour/day $15/60).
